We Educate. We believe in the power of music education, and the value it has for students. We provide robust educational opportunities for teachers and their students - extra curricular ensembles, summer camps, festivals, and school visits - all at an affordable cost.
We Uplift. Our staff prioritizes creating an inclusive and encouraging environment, in which ALL students feel valued and safe. We build a culture of positivity and fun, and then help our students to sing musically, take risks, and learn new skills.
We Include. We prioritize making these opportunities accessible to EVERYONE. Singing is for everyone, and no one should be denied an opportunity because of any hardship - financial or otherwise. If a student or school wants to participate, we'll make it happen.

Ascent Vocals was founded with the belief that music is for everyone. We work to create mountaintop singing experiences for their students at a low, affordable cost; through our donors, we provide scholarships to any that need financial assistance to attend our camp or sing in our ensembles. We create an inclusive, encouraging environment, in which all students feel valued and safe. We build a culture of positivity and fun, and then aid our students in singing musically, taking risks, and learning new skills.
"And this is something I will do my best to carry to the rest of my life. I want to continue growing my confidence, both in and out of the singing world. I want to continue to work in groups where we're able to offer support and be supported in turn. I want to continue searching for more meaningful experiences just like this one.” (Rae Sweeney, senior in high school)
“(They get) such joy from singing with Ascent, and if I can afford to help some other kid get that joy, it's worth it!” (Sarah Feitler, Parent)
“My kids are psyched (for camp) and my oldest hopes to join the weekly choir next year. Thanks for creating such a great and welcoming environment for young singers!” (Amy Bailey, Parent)
